According to Mycentraljersey.com, surveillance video of the crime shows the 40-foot-long refrigerated shipping container hooked up to a trailer and taken from its shipping yard in Linden, New Jersey. The burgers, shipped from Kansas City, MO, contained patties stored in 3,000 cartons. Apparently its contents were bound for the Netherlands. Mycentraljersey.com reports that the police have expanded their search. Capt. James Samicki said he notified other state agencies.

This crime comes on the heels of another food theft acted out in Germany, when the crooks stole 5.5 tons (worth more than $20,000) of Nutella. Those same thieves were suspected of making off with a truck full of energy drinks. And just last month, police in New Jersey arrested a man for walking off with 42,000 pounds of stolen Muenster cheese.
